It's usually really dead during this time so I started a GOLD show. I rarely ever do them; I'd like to bring some traffic to my room. Not working. First GOLD went 15 min and no buy ins. I'm on my second. Not even a hello.

Well, it's to be expected. I usually take lunch during this time, but I wanted to see if I could possibly snag a whale. Nope.

Gonna keep trying.

One show. One whale. Over goal.

Seriously, the name of the game is wait. 6.5 hrs and it was dismal AF for my earnings report then this reg comes in and does a block with GOLD on top.

Went from ranking 1000+ to 500+ with one show. Wait ladies. These men want you. STFO!!!!

Wow, Congrats!!!! I'm trying girl! I've made $2.40 in last 45mins. Barely any traffic and no one is saying anything but dumb shit. This is NOT normal for me. Mondays are usually great for me too. This is has been the worst contest for me, so far...

I'll keep trying but fuck! I definitely want to quit right now. And I need a damn nap!

how many models do you see online? i don't see a total number anywhere, just different numbers for different categories.


Select every region on the sidebar menu when viewing all models page, it will tell you total models online at the top of the page.

My confusion: when I'm logged out of my customer account it shows roughly 50% of the models and when I log in I see all of them. Anyone know why/when this started? Is this based on geoblock?

Today was SLOW. I made $47/hour which is about half of what I usually make. I did so many gold shows for ONE person lol or none at all :( I had 10+ppl pay for gold show and lots of $$$ but when I clicked start it booted everyone out and I lost that money. Damn, that hurt. I've been saved by a regular, yet again, otherwise it would've been bad..

I moved up 70 positions to the top 100!! Now its pushing me back 'cause my break is too long. I put so much energy into getting money today, I hardly recognized my own personality. Users kept telling me they loved me because I was so high energy and fun. OMG I usually do NOT act like that. It's cool that I made some money but the energy output is not sustainable for the whole week if I plan to work 40+ hours.

I made $1000 to put me at #99 for a hot minute. I think to be in the top 100 at the end of the week I will need to make around $4000?... this is just speculation based on previous contests and what has happened for my placement since Saturday. If I make $4K in a week, I may not care about prize money lol

I spoke too soon the other day about the guys being nicer, I'm getting some serious arseholes this past couple of days! What happened?! The timewasting is RELENTLESS aswell!!!

The first 3.5hrs of my shift yesterday were brutal. I rode it out and ended up having a great night but I'm definitely having the same battle tonight. I can only hope it balances out again!

Whelp, I waited and I made a few more dollars. Still not in the top 1200. I'm really hoping the rest of the week isn't this disappointing. I really need to bank this week and my bday is on Saturday. Worst week for a contest, at least for me. Thanks Streamate!!! Looks like I'm going to be camming on my birthday as well. Great.

I'll be back on tonight, because it looks like doubles are going to be a thing for the next few days.

Is there a way to delete messages on messenger as well as block members? It seems pointless if we can block memebers from messaging us on the classic page but they can still send messages on the new messenger system?

Tonight is way slower than I'm used to. The only thing keeping me going is regulars, cuz all the new guys are dropping their damn phone number and asking about how they can meet me UGH. I'm logging off now, contest wise I'm at 450-something with $400.

If my past experience still holds true it will probably be less then that, not a ton less but still.
There are weird tiers to the rankings, some people are super close, and once you move up to the next tier there is a bigger gap. Like rank 58 and 75 could be like $30 apart, but 58 and 32 could be 1k apart The higher you rank the more money you get.

YES! I almost always leave SM when there is a contest because the traffic gets harder to deal with (assholes/less traffic) and the site gets glitchy AF.

Prime example (everything was green and "Excellent" until the contests). Every single time.

I'm done for the night. I've been on for an hour and I've made less than $10. That is NOT normal for me. Nothing but idiots and now my room is dead. I'm also running on 4.5 hours of sleep, so I'm not even in the mood for the slowness and the bs. I'll try again tomorrow morning.

I'm really considering not working for the rest of this week since my bills are paid. I just need to pay down debt and save for maternity leave :frown:

Gonna keep trying.

I planned a super cute shower gold show. Nothing. I quit doing them. My regs prefer one on one anyway. I’m still not understanding the gold show as far as making good money off of them. Maybe some girls can bank if they have a good following, but I’m better off just waiting for a guy to do one on one privates.

Hey at least you tried.

In the May contest like this one, with total earnings for a week, I finished in the top 60s and I’d made just a tad under $3k, and if I remember rightly, I got a couple of cammodels referral shows that week with the extra % so not all of that will have counted towards it.

I don’t know how to get it into these guys heads what I offer specifically in private or exclusive. It’s making me want to switch my private higher than exclusive again just to save the agro but I’ve definitely noticed an increase in earnings since I switched them round.

It’s listed in layman’s terms in my bio, in my room topic, I request that they ask me for a show before taking me so we can discuss what they want, so more often than not they get told there, I talk about it out loud in free chat and I tell them at the start of a show sometimes and in the middle of the show, they STILL start pushing for shit I don’t offer in privste which I only offer in exclusive!!!

Is this just me??? I can’t think how else to drill it into their heads. Maybe sent an auto message into the begging of each private with a solid list saying I do XYZ and if they want C2C or the likes, move over to exclusive? I doubt even then they’d take any notice.

Once or twice is OK but it’s literally nearly every single show lately and it’s really tiresome.

Definitely isn't just you! Yesterday I had to tell at least 15 ppl I do not Cam 2 cam in private and they must do exc. Instead of listening to what I am saying after I reject their cam they do it again! I have even started rejecting cams in Exclusive until they at least tell me WHAT I am about see/type of show.

When I was a new model I had my private higher than eclusive because I was not yet comfortable with the few seconds pop in/leave in private when I am totally naked. Still hate that but I've reconciled with the fact that the whole world may eventually see me naked lol. Does this really work for you? I am annoyed with constantly "training" users to follow my very basic rules.

I have no idea if its new guys not understanding we as models operate our rooms differently or if these guys know and are blatantly disrespectful. I put a note in their profile and I will ban them if they do it again.

Last night I logged off at #73 with $1300 and 16 hours worked. I landed a silicon valley whale who wanted to chat for 30 minutes. That had NEVER happened to me before. Guys want to chat but don't look at my price and they tap out at 10 minutes when funds run dry. That whale is my hero!

I am exhausted though. My brain would not shut off last nigh to sleep. Early AM I had a very realistic dream about my dog/best friend who passed away this summer. I miss him so much and in the dream I could even feel his fur and pet him. I have been an emotional wreck all morning. I have never had a pet I was so close to before and he was my friend for 13 years. Being autistic I really struggle to make human friends and Heath the Dog had my heart :(

F*** I am in tears right now. Ok, going to meditate and breathe and feel this pain for a minute.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day! Good luck to all of you in the contest.

Is this just me??? I can’t think how else to drill it into their heads. Maybe sent an auto message into the begging of each private with a solid list saying I do XYZ and if they want C2C or the likes, move over to exclusive? I doubt even then they’d take any notice.

Once or twice is OK but it’s literally nearly every single show lately and it’s really tiresome.

This all just comes with the territory and is a battle you will have to fight every time you are online. I've been doing this for 5 years and it has never changed. You will always get the guys that try to push the envelope or try to get as much as they can for as cheap as they can. It's just the name of the game. I eventually had to let go of expecting them to behave and just punish for breaking the rules/pushing boundaries accordingly. It's just a part of camming.

Thank you. I start to wonder if it's something I'm doing wrong or if I'm not communicating my boundaries correctly or something. I didn't even used to make guys ask for shows before until now. I guess I need to just start being even more of a 'bitch' about it. By that I mean being more ruthless when it comes to withholding boundaries. Whenever I think I'm being more ruthless, I realise I'm still just not ruthless enough lol!

In the May contest like this one, with total earnings for a week, I finished in the top 60s and I’d made just a tad under $3k, and if I remember rightly, I got a couple of cammodels referral shows that week with the extra % so not all of that will have counted towards it.

About how many hours did you do in that week? Trying to get an idea as to what the top earners are doing.

Same here. Ialways ask first in free if they are looking for something specific. If they just jump pvt I will send an auto-message that is just a copy/paste of my show description in my profile. At this point, I just ignore their requests and do my thing. Fuck em, not my fault if they don't read or if they try to get shit I did not agree to after talking about it in free!

It does happen to all of us, many are actually really dumb. As you are already doing, clearly state your boundaries and I think it helps to be as unemotional as possible when telling them no. You decide what you are willing to do and they decide whether they want to stay once they know what you are willing to do. Guys will push for stuff they will never get in private and yet they leave a comment saying how amazing the show was. I think key here is not to tell white lies to get them to buy, don’t tell them maybe, don’t drag out an act you won’t do, don’t pretend your system isn’t working. The more we deceive the more they do it to us.

i thought it was just me ..was getting depressed.must be contest..i have been logging on 4 sites at once inc nf

Oh yeah, I’m logged onto all my sites but only streaming on SM. That’s why I’m wondering if I should try another streaming site.

I made private and exclusive the same exact price. They will always go for the cheaper route if they can regardless of what you put.

Last night I logged off at #73 with $1300 and 16 hours worked. I landed a silicon valley whale who wanted to chat for 30 minutes. That had NEVER happened to me before. Guys want to chat but don't look at my price and they tap out at 10 minutes when funds run dry. That whale is my hero!

I am exhausted though. My brain would not shut off last nigh to sleep. Early AM I had a very realistic dream about my dog/best friend who passed away this summer. I miss him so much and in the dream I could even feel his fur and pet him. I have been an emotional wreck all morning. I have never had a pet I was so close to before and he was my friend for 13 years. Being autistic I really struggle to make human friends and Heath the Dog had my heart :(

F*** I am in tears right now. Ok, going to meditate and breathe and feel this pain for a minute.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day! Good luck to all of you in the contest.

If you believe that energy never dies just changes, then he was with you this AM. It's a good sign that what you're doing currently is being accepted by your guardians.

It's ok to cry. It's even beneficial as it releases oxcytocin. Keep the momentum going on cam sister. Stay On!!!

I did 48 hours that week.

I've literally just written loads of new auto responses at the start of my shift and I've got one I've been posting into the beginning of private explaining the rules! I only had one guy so far pushing his luck and I just kept posting it and he eventually got the message and left. I'll see how this pans out!

I think maybe this is part of my problem actually now you've said this. If it's a hard limit I have no issue give a firm no, but when they're just trying to push for things in private that I only offer in excl, for example, I'm probably being too nice about it. Not deliberately, but I guess I'm subconsciously trying not to piss them off. That's something I need to work on there!

Thank you for all of your replies! xo

Thanks!

Laying out "rules" and spamming it may push some people away - why lose out on the money? If I may make a suggestion, I'd just make a short and sweet description of what you do in pvt vs excl and send it first thing when a guy joins pvt if the guy didn't clearly specify what he wants/give you a chance to tell him what you do/don't do. Maybe once more if they ask for something otherwise I'd suggest ignoring it - just act like you're having so much fun you aren't reading what they are typing lol. If they leave you a poor rating you can have it removed as you stated what you do and don't do, but most likely they won't. It's happened maybe twice to me and support removed it.

Sometimes,if I'm in a particularly chill mood, I might say sweetly, "Like I mentioned, I do x in exclusive... did you want to continue playing in pvt or move to excl for x?" It gives them the illusion of having a choice. Then if they ask again I just ignore, ignore ignore.

I cannot remedy it. This is the first time it's been this bad. I literally can't stream it's lagging and stupidly pixelated. I lost 2 shows because of it. My BF is techy and I'm trying to get his help.

Looks like I'm out until it resolves itself.

Does anyone know what to do when their cams won't show up? All I can see, since a week ago, is a black rectangle where their cams used to be, in c2c. Not that I would want to see them, but so many of them only enter private if they can be seen, lol. I am using the Opera browser with sm connect, and I deleted all cookies and cache and restarted and did all I knew, but still no go, my cam2cam won't work anymore, no cam and no sound coming from them. All the smconnect specs are in green, and my connection is very fast up and down, so that is not the problem, nor is my pc. What browser works best for smconnect?
I lost half of the shows this week because of this damn c2c. Maybe I should just pretend that I see them, but I do domme shows as well, so I can't tell them all that their cock is nice LOL.

I have had one customer about two weeks ago that I had that issue with, but he said it works on Skype- he found me on NF.

I wonder if they have their cam settings turned on- the permission on their browser.

Do you know if they are on mobile, pc and what browser that they are using

It starts out green then after a minute or two it drops right down to red. Usually when that happens I close all other applications and it'll jump back up to green. Not for the last two hours. It just stays in the red for minutes on end. I'd say stays in red for 5-7 minutes goes green then a second or two later right back down to red.

I've even tried another browser. Nope. Same issue. BF is at a loss. He's suggested many things.

If I didn't hang out in red for so long (5-7min) then I think I could put up with it, but I think it's a lost cause. I just can't even upset myself more by having it green when a show starts then lose the show cause the quality is crap. Rode that ride twice already and I'm just pissed lololollll.

I saved a screenshot from another contest week that someone posted here. It was the model's earnings page from a week long "best three days" contest (in March I think), but the model still worked all 7 days. She worked 67 hours and made just shy of $9500. I believe she was somewhere between rank #3-5.

So I would assume the models at the very top of the ranks are doing something close to that this week as well.

That's what it was like for me yesterday. How is your CPU running?

Also did you try taking a break like 15 to 30 minutes and then try again? Or did the issue keep persisting?
